Tyreek Hill has taken to social media to let the world know about his opinion on teammate Robert Hunt’s exit. Hunt signed a massive deal with the Carolina Panthers after ending his contract with the Miami Dolphins. Cheetah channeled his inner Tikki Barber to send Hunt a message.

The former New York Giants’ RB and legend Tikki Barber made headlines after Saquon Barkley left the Giants to join the rivals Philadelphia Eagles. And Hill has made sure that Barber’s now infamous words live on in the free agency cycle!

Hill is often regarded as one of the best athletes in the world to utilize the power of social media. And the 30-year-old did not miss an opportunity to make a joke on Hunt’s emotional message after joining the Panthers on a massive contract worth $100 million for 5 years.

While Hunt expressed his gratitude to the Miami fans on X (previously Twitter). Hill took the chance to joke and quoted by writing, You’re dead to us, good luck but you’re dead to me”. His words reminded the fans of Barber’s after Barkley’s exit.

“He’s dead to us now. He’s dead to us. You’re dead to us, Saquon”, said Barber with a smile on the ‘Evan and Tiki’ podcast earlier this week. The offensive guard Hunt must be aware of Hill’s sense of humor and wouldn’t feel hurt like Barkley. Especially after becoming one of the richest players in his position!

Robert Hunt is swimming in money

After being drafted by the Dolphins in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the 27-year-old signed his rookie contract worth $8.06 million for four years. After putting pen to paper on a $100 million contract, he is set to earn $20 million per year with the Panthers!

Trailing behind Eagles’ Landon Dickerson at $21 million per year, and Falcons’ Chris Lindstrom at $20.5 million per year, this new contract makes him the third-highest earner at the guard position. Hunt will provide stability to the dodgy guarding in the Panthers’ offensive lines. However, he will lack the quality support he had at the Dolphins!
